We enjoyed our month long stay in this very local neighborhood close to the Chao Phraya River. The neighbors are friendly. Charin responded very quickly by email to our few questions It’s about a 10 minute walk to the Gold Line Khlong San BTS station to access BTS/MRT system. To cross the river and access the river express boats, walk 15-20 minutes to Khlong San pier; pay 5 baht to Si Phraya pier. A bit further past pier alley is Iconsiam, Bangkok’s current premier shopping mall. For food, the 10 minute walk between the house and 7-11 store, takes you past many food stalls: grilled meats, fresh peeled/sliced fruit, crepes, somtam papaya salad, drinks, trayed/bagged food. The following provided at move in: generous bottles of water, bath and hand towels (bring wash cloth), starter toilet paper, dish washing soap.. There is a nearby osmosis water dispenser to reduce plastic. The main problem was mosquitos entering from ground floor bathroom floor drain -- we plugged drain with cloth.
